Chapter 30: Who Won't Be Poisoned
Tianxin snorted coldly in her heart, knowing that she would not be comfortable for long, and this table of good wine and food only moved slightly, which was a pity. She called the guy and asked him to pack. Presumably, there was no popular word of 'packing' at this time, and the guy was stunned for a moment, so he understood, brought a gilt food box over, put the dishes on the table one by one, and said politely: "The girl will send it back tomorrow." If there is any inconvenience, we will send someone to Xiao Mansion to get it, and it will be troublesome for Young Master Xiao. ”
It's really in place, it's really extravagant, it's really generous! Such a food box is a lot of money, plus these silverware, it's really ...... Tell Tianxin to drool. However, the other party has a Xiao Mansion, if Tianxin absconds with the 'money', they will naturally look for the Xiao family, and it is themselves who are unlucky. Alas, what is it? It's a bank teller, looking at a lot of silver, not a single tael can be embezzled......
Yin Lan looked at Tianxin, who was stunned, thinking that she was frightened by Lu Er's words, and gently pulled her sleeve: "Don't worry, let's go back first, the young master will protect you." ”
"Oh." Tianxin suddenly woke up from her dream of making a fortune, thinking that there was still a tough battle to fight when she returned to Xiao Mansion, so she hurriedly cleaned up her mood, carried the food box, and stood up. Faintly felt that there were a few bundles of eyes looking at him with a smile of 'I can't stand you', Tianxin glanced at it, Xiao Yiqing, Yinlu and Yinbai seemed to have seen through her thoughts at the moment, Yinchi had already walked out of the room and waited for the master, only Yinlan was stupidly worried about Tianxin. Tianxin was suddenly moved, only Yinlan is a lovely honest child!
When the group returned to Xiao's Mansion, Xiao Yiqing only took Yin Lu and the big girl Huiyun and Tianxin to the old lady's side.
The old lady's room was lively, and the one, two, and three wives were all present, and the third lady cried so much that it rained, which made people look pity. The second wife stared at Tianxin behind Xiao Yiqing with disdain.
"Brother Qing, you just send people here, why bother to come by yourself." The old lady took the cup and brought it to her mouth, as if she had suddenly noticed that the tea was hot, and put it back again.
"The affairs of the old lady's room are naturally the first priority, and no matter what happens, they can't reach it. I just don't know ......" Xiao Yiqing responded respectfully, so far he has never called the old lady a grandmother, first, he is not used to it, and second, he doesn't feel that the old lady really cares about him, it is better to keep a little distance.
"Qinru, what's going on, tell me in front of the eldest young master." The old lady said calmly.
"Yes, old lady. The eldest young master, I heard from the big kitchen steward that the girl in your room had filial piety and wanted to add a few new dishes to the old lady, and the old lady also wanted to change the taste, so she sent me to say. Tianxin girl was fast, prepared the ingredients early, and personally delivered the new dishes before noon. It happened that Sister Rong and Sister Fang followed the third lady to ask for peace, and Sister Rong was greedy when she saw the 'emerald fragrance and jade run', so the old lady gave her the first meal. never thought that Sister Rong had only eaten a few bites, and she yelled that her stomach hurt. It was also Dr. Liu who refused to come again, delayed for a long time, and found a new doctor to take a look, saying that he had eaten something unclean and had been poisoned. It's a shame that Sister Rong rushed to eat it, if the old lady eats it, I really don't know what to do. Qin Ru is articulate, the words are sonorous and powerful, and the words are smooth and fluent.
"This person, I pointed it out to your room, and I'm always worried about what to do if there's a good one. Since this moth thing happened, I will ask this girl to come, and I will point out to you someone who can cook and understand the rules. "The old lady's words, straight is to go back to Tianxin to deal with it, and not let Xiao Yiqing interfere. Tian Xin was shocked when he heard this.
"For such a big matter, I should try my best to help the old lady find out the truth, and I will never let anyone be wronged, let alone let the bad person escape punishment." Xiao Yiqing turned his head and said to Tianxin, "You girl, how did you come to my garden, don't follow the rules wholeheartedly, and deliver food to the old lady's room?" Now this incident is born in plain nature. ”
Tianxin hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Old lady, young master, how can a slave have such a big courage!" Originally, Tianxin was willing to add vegetables to the old lady, but since she entered the eldest young master's room according to the old lady's wishes, the slave maid did not dare to overstep, the old lady has always eaten the dishes of the big kitchen, how can the slave and maid make dishes and send them to the old lady casually? This is not only disrespectful to the eldest young master, but also disrespectful to the old lady! Although the slave maid has not been in the house for a long time, she also knows the rules. This time to cook for the old lady, but the big kitchen had asked the slave to prepare it earlier, and then Sister Qinru came to ask, the slave and maid should try their best to do a good job, the selected ingredients are carefully selected, and there will never be the slightest mistake. Please ask the old lady and the eldest young master to check clearly. ”
Xiao Yiqing pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Old lady, this girl has been in my room since she arrived, and she is also at peace." If it was really her hands and feet, it would not have been so obvious. Sister Rong has ever eaten something on the side? What did the doctor say? ”
"Sister Rong only ate 'Emerald Fragrance and Jade Run'. Isn't it that Brother Qing doesn't believe that this dish is poisonous? The old lady said.
"Old lady, please show the poisonous vegetables to the slave maid, if it is really poisoned by the slave and maid, the slave and maid please punish it, and eat all the remaining vegetables, poisoned by poison, to show innocence!" Tianxintong's voice was bright, and Xiao Yiqing stared at him fiercely, obviously blaming her for being troublesome.
"Qinru, bring it to her to see."
Tianxin took the dish, looked at it carefully, and then said, "Old lady, whether this dish is poisonous or not, I don't know." It's just that this is not the 'emerald fragrance and jade run' that the slave maid did. Because the shredded meat in the slave's dish is not in the oil pot, it is poured with boiling water, and now the shredded meat is obviously fried in the oil pot, so the meat does not look white and tender, and the taste is poor. The old lady tasted it last time, and she should have known that the shredded meat of my dish was different from the one next to it. It's just that Tianxin personally delivered the dish to Sister Qinru's hands, I don't know if anyone will touch it later......"
Qin Ru knelt down with a puff when she heard this: "Old lady, Qin Ru took the food box and put it together with the dishes in the big kitchen, and it was not handed over to others, please check it out to the old lady!" Besides, the doctor said that the poison was in Angelica, and he only needed to go to the girl's kitchen to check the remaining ingredients to know if it was poisoned! ”
"Are you searching my garden?" Xiao Yiqing asked coldly.
Qin Ru knelt and didn't say a word, her two eyes turned to the old lady, as if she didn't put Xiao Yiqing in her eyes at all, and only listened to the old lady alone.
The second wife suddenly spoke: "Then check it." You see, old lady, if someone destroys the evidence, it will not be easy. The third brother hasn't come back yet, if he knows that Sister Rong has been killed like this, he still doesn't know what to do. The third brother and sister are so sad, they always have to make decisions for her. ”
The old lady turned her head to look at the eldest lady, who was holding a cup and carefully tasting the tea, as if she had never eaten such a good tea.
"Brother Qing, don't be in a hurry, I just asked someone to get the remaining ingredients from the kitchen, I don't understand the grass and trees in your room. Liuzhu, take your mother-in-law to get it. The old lady gave orders quietly, and no one objected. Tianxin looked at Xiao Yiqing's eyes, blinked a few times, and signaled him not to worry. After Xiao Yiqing received it, he turned his eyes away, and his expression became cold.
Time passed minute by minute, and after a while, the mother-in-law brought all the angelica in Xiao Yiqing's small kitchen and tried them one by one with silver needles in front of everyone. Of course it's not toxic. The mothers-in-law stood aside, waiting for the old lady to give orders.
Tianxin knelt and moved to the old lady, her little face looked so aggrieved that she wanted to cry: "Please ask the old lady to decide!" Since the slave and the maid are wronged, they do not seek the side, but only the truth! Since only the slave's kitchen and the big kitchen are delivering food today, please ask the old lady to search the big kitchen as well! If you find this poisoner, you can also make everyone feel at ease! ”
"The old lady has always been fair, and she will never wronged you. I will order a strict investigation. Xiao Yiqing seemed to accuse Tianxin, but he used words to block the old lady. None of the ladies thought that this would be the case, and they didn't say a word, but the third lady seemed to cry even more sadly.
"Liuzhu, go check." The old lady is hard to ride a tiger.
"Hidden Green, you follow along, don't let the bad guy do anything, and don't miss anything. If you dare to slander the people in my room, I want to see who is so bold. Xiao Yiqing followed and ordered. He was afraid that if he didn't let people watch, the old lady wouldn't really check the big kitchen. Everyone can see that the old lady is looking for an opportunity to take people, she doesn't want to have a doctor to follow Xiao Yiqing, let alone Xiao Yiqing to become independent, she really doesn't want this cheap grandson.
Not long after, the angelica in the big kitchen was also sent one by one, and the mother-in-law checked it routinely, but found the poisonous angelica in a small baggage.
"Everyone, who's in charge of the kitchen now? What happened? I just walked out of the water last time, why are there so many things? The old lady was angry, but she was angry that she had lost face, so she threw the burden directly to the eldest lady.
"It was originally in charge of Chen Deqing's family, and the last time he went to the water, he received a penalty and was demoted by one level. Now it is still in charge of the Tian Fu family. The eldest lady reported them one by one, and she also looked like she had nothing to do with herself.
"Then call them all!" The old lady was furious.
Mama Chen followed Mama Tian and came with her head bowed. Mama Tian was confident in the end, and when she arrived in the old lady's room, she asked for peace one by one, and said: "Back to the old lady, this ingredient has always been in the management of Chen Deqing's family, although it has been demoted, but it is still a manager." The old slave also has a bad pool, and he failed to check the ingredients one by one, and the old slave is willing to receive the punishment! With a single stroke, all the sins were pressed on Mama Chen's head.
Mama Chen was so frightened that she was in a cold sweat, and she knelt down in front of the old lady: "The old lady is clearly checking, how dare the slave and maid do this thing that poisons the master!" In this baggage, it is the girl Chunque's things, she put it here with the slave maid, and the slave maid made a personal favor, but she didn't know that she was going to harm the master! This Chun Que always relies on being a child of the family, and occupies a lot of good things in the house, and the slave and maid dare not say it clearly because of this relationship, she must be a thief! Old lady, you have to find out! ”
The old lady and Qin Ru glanced at each other, no one expected that things would develop to such a point, but they wanted to kill a little girl, and they actually involved a slave and maid born in the family.
"Put ...... Arrest that girl. The old lady was a little confused, and she no longer had the composure she had just now.
Chunque entered the room, and without being scolded a few words, she began to kowtow and shout: "It's this girl, it's Tianxin, she gave me these things, saying that I want me to honor Mama Chen, she said that she will have to rely on our big kitchen in the future, and if she has good things, she will naturally honor Mama first." It's her, it's her who poisoned her! ”
"Old lady, the slave maid is a rough maid who sells herself into the house, where can I get the money to buy these precious ingredients and medicinal materials? Besides, if the slave and maid let the filial piety of the mother, why does the mother not mention the name of the slave and the maid? Please check it out with the old lady! Tianxin also kowtowed.
In this room, there was a mess, and suddenly it was quiet, the third wife stopped crying, and the spring magpie stopped screaming, they were all waiting......
